Deep dives

Reducing Tech Debt, Patching, and Exceptions

One of the main focuses of implementing zero trust is to reduce tech debt, patching, and exceptions. These three areas pose significant security risks and vulnerabilities. By addressing them, organizations can ensure that their security infrastructure is robust and up-to-date. Tech debt, in particular, can be a major hole in the infrastructure, rendering even the best security policies and controls ineffective. Implementing zero trust requires a thorough evaluation and updates of these areas to enhance overall security.
